Biography

Adam Keefe was appointed Head Coach in May 2017. Famous for his no-nonsense style of play on the ice and popularity in the locker room as well as with the fans, Keefe became the Giants ninth Head Coach and takes on the role after carrying out the job of Player/Assistant Coach with excellence in the 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons.

Keefe has played an extensive role in helping the organisation win two of it’s four Elite League championships. The first was in Keefe’s debut season with the Giants in 2011/12 when he was Assistant Captain before clinching the title as Captain in 2013/14 when he led the Giants to a record points total as the team clinched the championship with ten games still remaining.

Keefe captained the Giants from 2012/13 until the most recent season, 2016/17, and during his six seasons in Belfast played in 352 games and posted 56 goals, 78 assists, 134 points as well as 1,082 Penalty Minutes.

A tireless workhorse for the Belfast Giants both on the ice and in the community, Keefe’s attributes as a captain extend far beyond the walls of the SSE Arena, and make him one of the most valuable assets in the Elite Ice Hockey League.
